Poor family mother and son

Chapter 916 Contradictions
Speaking of Marquis Linyang, the emperor became even more depressed.

It is not right to say that I am depressed, it should be said that I am in a complicated mood.

Back then, he boldly used a village woman as an official. At first, he wanted to teach women all over the world to think more, think more and create more, but later he liked her ability.

Appoint people as their talents and be in charge of politics.

He wants to cultivate a group of talents who can fight against the aristocratic family and help him stabilize the imperial power.

Most of these people came from the common people and commoners. They were either families who had experienced various political battles and were defeated, or those who had only obtained official positions after ten or decades of hardship.

Cultivating them is to think that they will feel more grateful to the emperor and be able to do things in a down-to-earth manner, but the effect is not great. They spend more time on currying favor with the powerful and seeking ways to get promoted.

Only Chu Qing was diligent and conscientious, and his performance was outstanding, which not only filled the emperor's pocket, but also opened up the idea and possibility of centralizing power for the emperor to "encircle the central government".

It's just that this person is too eye-catching, which makes the emperor worry that he will not be able to control him, so much so that he even suspects her of rebellion.

But look now, who is more likely to rebel?
Either with military power, or with connections, it is clear and clean.

In the end, this clean person was so messed up that he resigned from office!

Obviously it can play a bigger role!
"I heard that the Marquis of Linyang also said 'this Marquis guards the gate of the country'?" the emperor asked.

Eunuch Li: "There is such a saying. I heard that Linyanghou was assassinated, and the son of the Houfu said it in public when he was comforting the hired workers."

Emperor: "How did you say that?"

As a master and servant who grew up together since childhood, Eunuch Li naturally knew that what the emperor asked was Chu Qing's original words, not Xiaobao's retelling, so he replied: "What the Marquis of Linyang said is, 'This Marquis guards the gate of the country, and Lao Xu will do it. economy'."

After answering, add another sentence: "I heard that Linyang Marquis said it to Xu Guangze, the magistrate of Linyang County, when he chose the address to build his mansion. Many people have heard it."

The emperor nodded - that's it, Chu Qing, it's not that I don't trust you or protect you, but that you are too arrogant.

I mean to let you assist in the border defense, but you can't regard yourself as a general stationed in the border, you have no right to say that.

Chu Qing always "strikes first and plays later" when doing things, such as secretly supporting Hong Liang's troops with food and grass, and privately letting the secret investigation department participate in the army's intelligence transmission and other affairs.

This kind of approach is acceptable in her world. After all, there are times when the power of the mobile phone is cut off and there is no signal. If there is an emergency but the leader cannot be contacted, it is better to make a quick decision and communicate with the leader afterwards.

Even if the communication is poor, the big deal is to resign and leave, and there is no worry about life. It is only about whether the income is stable or not.

But it is different in a society ruled by imperial power.

It is true that many things require speed, but in the eyes of officials, the clear approach is to act arbitrarily and arbitrarily, resulting in blurred authority of various departments.

What if someone followed suit?

That is to encourage everyone to act without authorization, and speculators will prevail.

Moreover, if there are many imitators, what will happen to the high-ranking ones?

They will have a mentality: the people below are doing the same thing, playing the game against the top, then I can only reach out and get the benefits.

If things work out, the benefits will be shared; if things don’t work out, then you will be responsible, because I didn’t give you an order to do so.

The leader is originally the role of formulating plans and distributing benefits. This will inevitably make the country more chaotic and even out of control, threatening the rule of the central government.

In the past, Chu Qing was poor and white, and the emperor could believe that she acted in such a simple way, but as Chu Qing's power and status rose, could the emperor still think so?

But in fact, Marquis Linyang, who was "hanged high", said he would guard the country, and he did it.

At least Xue Zhenghao, as a general guarding the border, couldn't even look down on the half-starved prisoners of war, so he had to be intercepted and killed by Chu Qing.

Chu Qing was the kind of person who made the emperor feel contradictory no matter what he did.

Since the emperor was not completely at ease, why did he buy the blueprint of "Unconscionable Cannon" at a price of 5 taels of silver?

It was out of comfort to Chu Qing: You said that the blueprints are not free, but I not only agree, but also buy them at a high price.

Still want to use others, but also guard against others, can there be no contradiction?

But who made Chu Qing not know enough about imperial power and prestige?

In her own world, she has never been a leader and has no experience; she is also an "egg under the red flag"-the sudden appearance of her head is a long-awaited expectation for many years, and it is a natural inheritance to hold her chest up and shout.

This is not a question of adapting to society, but a question of the three views have long been stable.

How did she understand the true meaning of the emperor's appointment of her, that she was used as a spear to fight against the overly stable chain of interests between the aristocratic family and the courtiers that the emperor was inconvenient to overthrow.

That is the biggest threat to imperial power.

They have served as officials in the imperial court for generations, their sons inherited their father's career, brothers looked after each other, hereditary inheritance, high family status, and married and formed a network.

Even if the aristocratic family was originally based on poetry and prose, in order to protect the interests of the family, the family will definitely find ways to seize military power and use force to maintain their lofty status.

The aristocratic family engulfed the imperial power, and finally the west wind overwhelmed the east wind, and the imperial power fell aside.

The country needs the support of aristocratic families, but they cannot be allowed to be too deeply involved with the imperial power.

The emperor has always wanted to change the entire court and break the family's control over the court. However, since ancient times, no matter whether it is reform or innovation, it is impossible not to let blood flow into rivers.

But by mistake, Chu Qing created an opportunity for the emperor to take back Xue Zhenghao's military power.

Giving Chu Qing a knighthood and choosing the fiefdom in Linyang County was actually a decision made by the emperor in ambivalence, but it was also tantamount to "putting Chu Qing on the shelf".

But Chu Qing started to tinker with things again, and she could always tinker with something good.

The emperor dug out Chu Qing's blueprint of "Unconscionable Cannon" again.

Not to mention Zheng Chunqiu coveting, the emperor is also coveting!

When the emperor heard that the Chuqing factory had been stolen and was related to the Ministry of Industry, the first thing he thought of was "this matter must be related to Zheng Chunqiu", and he even had some expectations in his heart that Zheng Chunqiu would succeed.

It's a pity that Zheng Chunqiu's nose is also very sharp, so it's not easy to punish him if he fails to steal the crime as soon as possible.

It's really a bad thing that there is nothing left to eat and nothing to do!

Seeing the emperor looking at the blueprints, Eunuch Li could more or less guess what the emperor was thinking: this means he wants to go back to Zheng Chunqiu again.

Who is the personal steward?That is someone who is more familiar with the emperor than the empress.

Eunuch Li put the white jade teacup next to the desk on the tray to take away, and said: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to think too much about the dragon's body, you have to take care;

Mr. Zheng has learned his lesson, so he is naturally terrified, and he will definitely do his best to do his job in order to pay for his crime and make meritorious service. Didn't he say that there is already a method of mining?The emperor is at ease. "

In order to get rid of the crime, Zheng Chunqiu said: "I have already made a mining plan, which has nothing to do with Linyanghou. How could I send someone to steal it? I really don't know about it."

One push six two five*.

If the emperor hadn't ordered the fourth prince and Zheng Chunqiu to be in charge of mining the jade mine, he really didn't want to use this minister of the Ministry of Industry anymore.

It's just that you have no jokes, words spoken from the mouth of the emperor are imperial decrees, and you can't change it just by saying it.

The emperor felt that he really needed caring and capable people, and hoped that the fourth child would be able to take on part of the affairs after this experience.

Brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers in battle, relying on those courtiers, it is better to train your own son.

* Note: One pushes six two five Origin: Old scales generally use 16 taels as a catty.When buying and selling things, if one item is one yuan, if the other party buys one or two items, it will be 0.0625 yuan.

The first way of saying: When shopping for weighing, push the rope of the weight to the star that represents one or two weights, and then say "one push six two five", if you push it to two two, then say "two push one two five".

Later, people compiled this into a verse, which is much more convenient when buying and selling things.

The second way of saying: It should be "one back six two five".

The "return" in it originally means to return one step in abacus calculation, that is, to return one place to a decimal point.

Because "abdication" is a homonym for "pushing Japanese", it evolved into "one push six two five", which describes pretending to be confused and shirking responsibility.

I agree with the second statement, how about you?
*Cold knowledge: Why is a catty 16 taels instead of integers?
There are sixteen stars in the sky, seven Big Dippers, three Altairs, the sun, the moon, the earth, plus the three stars of Fu, Lu, and Shou, making a total of sixteen stars.

Integrating "time" into the algorithm means that buyers and sellers must be conscientious in doing things and settling accounts.You can't be short of catties, otherwise you will be cheating, and you will lose your life.

"Relic for righteousness" is the consensus of the people, and it is also the requirement of the society for businessmen.
